TX320 Transmitter
4.1.2 Setting Editor | Configuration
An example of parameters entered in the Configuration tab is provided in
FIGURE 4-2.
NESDIS Platform ID: Type in your NESDIS-assigned ID number. This is an
8-digit hex number.
Self-Timed Transmission Channel: Select the NESDIS-assigned self-timed
transmission channel. For 1200-baud channels, the formal channel designation
is the channel number followed by the letter A, for example: 99A. Setting the
channel number to a value of zero will disable timed transmissions.
Self-Timed Transmission Bit Rate: Select the NESDIS-assigned channel bit
rate (baud rate). This value will be either 300 or 1200 for a CS-2 device.
Self-Timed Transmission Interval: Enter the interval between timed
transmissions (specified as dd:hh:mm:ss). The default value of 00:01:00:00
will transmit the data every hour. The valid range for this setting is 00:00:05:00
to 30:23:59:59.
Self-Timed Transmission First Time: Enter an offset from the Self-Timed
Transmission Interval that specifies when the first transmission will take place;
must be less than the Self-Timed Transmission Interval. Example: Self-Timed
Transmission Interval = 00:01:00:00 (1 hour) and the Self-Timed Transmission
First Time = 00:15:00 (15 min). The transmission pattern starting at midnight
will be the following 00:15:00, 01:15:00, 02:15:00...23:15:00.
Self-Timed Transmission Window Length(s): Enter the NESDIS-assigned
length of the self-timed transmission window in units of seconds.
Self-Timed Transmission Data Format: Specify whether self-timed data will
be transmitted in ASCII, binary, or pseudo binary formats. This setting does
not change the format of the data; it only changes the flag word. The
datalogger program determines the data format and should match the format
chosen for this setting.
Self-Timed Preamble Length: The default value of Short must be used for
CS-2 devices.
